Absolutely not. Egg whites contain avidine which destroys vitamin H which is crucial for your dog's hair and nail growth. If you are feeding a complete good quality dog food for medium sized dogs you do not need to supplement her food. You would alter the nutritional balance which then would detrimental. Please only feed commercial dog food. Your dog will then be happy and healthy.
